The main aim of this study was to examine the influence of attachment styles in work-life balance. Prior research has demonstrated that attachment styles are important antecedents of interpersonal relationship quality and psychological well-being (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007). Despite this, the theory of attachment styles has been largely ignored by researchers interested in workplace phenomena. When researchers began exploring the nature of adult attachment, they primarily focused on romantic relationships. Implementation of the theory into organizational settings began with topics such as leadership dynamics where the parent to child parallel is fairly obvious (Harms, 2011). Over the past two decades, however, number of studies have attempted to examine the role of attachment styles and a variety of behaviors, attitudes, and experiences in the workplace setting (e.g. Richards & Schat, 2011; Geller & Bamberger, 2009). The research sample consisted of 78 female middle school teachers. Data collection consisted of attachment style diagnostics using the Czech version of Experiences in Close Relationships and semistructured interview assessing respondents’ work-life. Depending on the attachment style, 15 interviews were conducted covering an equal number of secure, anxious and avoidant respondents. Using methodology of grounded theory, data analysis consisted of coding transcripted interviews, identifying key points and grouping them into concepts and categories. Results indicate that individuals with anxious attachment were more likely to experience negative spillover in both directions. Purely positive spillover occurred mainly among secure individuals. Avoidant individuals tended towards segmentation between domains. Secures mostly identified with their work, and individuals with ambivalent attachment fluctuated between segmentation and identification. Different reactions to authority confrontation were also found. Individuals with anxious attachment tend to subordinate to authorities. Avoidant indiviuals showed more assertiveness and resistance. Secure indiviuals acknowledged both personal and role dimentions. According to the study of Summer and Knight (2001), individuals with anxious attachment experience higher levels of negative spillover from home to work than did secures and avoidants. Secure individuals were also more likely to experience positive spillover in both directions. Prior research suggests that securely attached individuals are able to prevent the spreading of negative affect (Mikulincer & Orbach, 1995), are more likely to use constructive coping strategies in dealing with stress (Mikulincer, Florian, & Weller, 1993). Kahn and Kram (1994) suggested authority stances similar to our findings and proposed independent, counterdependent and dependent internal models of authority which correspond to attachment styles. Limitations of the study are in the specific research sample and its size. Further research applicating quantitative methods is advised.

Theory of attachment strongly influences exploring of close relationships in childhood and in adulthood as well. According Bowlby attachment is "lasting relationship bond characterized by need of seeking and maintaining proximity with a person in stressful situations especially (Bowbly, 2010). Hazan a Shaver (1987) applied theory of early attachment in romantic relationships of adults. Behavior of adult human in relationships is more or less predictable by style of attachment in childhood (Feeney, 1999). Brennan, Clark a Shaver (1998) created four-dimensional model of attachment which was based on Ainsworth´s theory as well. The model was formed of two dimensions - anxiety and avoidance. The authors identified four types of attachment: secure, fearful, dismissive and preoccupied style of attachment (Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998). Satisfaction in romantic relationship can be explained as a degree in which is relationship for a human enojyable. Attachment influences satisfaction in relationship in terms of meeting need of proximity and safety (Mikulincer, Florian, Cowan, & Cowan, 2002). Several researches show that safe attachment is associated with higher satisfaction in marriage and on the other hand people with insecure style of attachment show lower degree of satisfaction in relationship (Alexandrov, Cowan, & Cowan, 2005; Treboux, Crowell, & Waters, 2004). At the same time style of attachment of the partner also influences individual a lot, satisfaction does not depend only on his own style of attachment but also on attachment of his partner (Farinelli, & McEwan, 2009). The study examined relations between the relationship attachment and marital satisfaction. The goal was to explain the relationship between the adult attachment and marital satisfaction of the individual and her/his husband/wife. The research examined relationship between adult attachment and marital satisfaction as well. Quantitative questionnaire survey: The battery consisted of four selfrepot questionnaires. The childhood attachment was measured by Attachment History Paragraphs (Granqvist & Kirkpatrick, 2004), adult attachment was measured by The Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire (Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998) and satisfaction in marriage was measuredby two measures: Quality Marriage Index (Norton, 1983) and Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (Schumm, Bollman, & Jurich, 1997).The research sample consisted of 78 heterosexual married couple, together 156 people. The average length of marriages is 20.76 years. Participants were instructed to complete the questionnaires independently. The relations between variables were examined by correlation analysis and cluster analysis. People with a secure attachment style and their partners were most satisfied with their marriages. Our study showed relation between dismissive attachment style and low level of marital satisfaction for the individual, and for the partner of the examined one. The results of our study did not suggest any relationship between childhood attachment and marital satisfaction. The results indicate that secure attachment style is related to higher level of relationship satisfaction, in spite of stressful situation or demanding changes which are occurring in marriage. People with insecure attachment style devote a lot of effort to reinforce marital and couple relationship stability during difficult situations in relationship. Connection between marital satisfaction and childhood attachment has not been proven. The reason may be that childhood attachment is not always totally stable and it can be changed by life experience or personal characteristics of the individual. Our research confirmed that attachment is related to satisfaction in marriage. Research of relationship between attachment and factors affecting marriage is very beneficial, because new finding in this topic can help in clinical practice.

Objectives. The research aimed to examine the relationship between the different types of adult attachment (secure type, anxious and avoidant type) and relationship satisfaction. Also examined relationship between satisfaction and intimacy, commitment and passion. Sample and setting. The research sample consisted of 120 respondents, university students aged 18 to 26 years (M = 22.54, SD = 1.71). The sample consisted of 97 women and 23 men. Hypotheses. It was hypothesized that a secure adult attachment would be positively related to relationship satisfaction. On the contrary, in the case of anxious and avoidant adult attachment a negative attitude towards relationship satisfaction were assumed. It was hypothesized that intimacy, commitment and passion would be positively related to relationship satisfaction. Statistical analysis. Multiple linear hierarchical regression (stepwise method) was performed to verify the relations between the different types of adult attachment, intimacy, commitment, passion and relationship satisfaction. Results. The research confirmed the relationship between adult attachment and relationship satisfaction, which was one of the main findings. Respondents who showed a secure type of adult attachment were more satisfied in a relationship than those who showed anxious or avoidant behavior. Another important finding was the relation between the love component – intimacy and couple relationship satisfaction. Study limitation. The fact that data were obtained from only one of the partners can be considered as a possible limitation of the study.

In the past few years there has been an increase in research interest of attachment and its hierarchy with related biopsychosocial phenomena through different population groups of adults. The first aim of this study is first to probe how the attachment, the post-deployment support and the combat experience influence somatization tendencies of the Czech combatants. The second aim of this study is to probe whether colleagues from deployment can be found among attachment figures of soldiers. The research was realized via questionnaire survey among 71 Czech combatants, who were at least once deployed. The applied methods were Experience in Close Relationship-Relationship Structures (ECR-RS), Post-Deployment Support and The Combat Experience Scale from Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory, a short form of SCL-90 and WHOTO. The results show that the attachment anxiety and the post-deployment support significantly predict the somatization tendencies. The second result of this study shows that colleagues from deployment appear among combatant´s attachment figures. The results could serve as the source for developing an intervention programme.

V poslední době je zvýšen zájem o zkoumání citové vazby a její hierarchie u různých populačních skupin dospělých osob a souvisejících biopsychosociálních aspektech. Cílem této studie je zjistit, jak citová vazba, sociální opora po návratu a dále stresující události na misi predikují výskyt somatizačních tendencí u českých kombatantů. Dalším cílem studie je zjistit, zda se mezi vazbovými osobami kombatantů vyskytují kolegové ze zahraničních misí. Výzkum byl realizován na souboru 71 českých kombatantů, kteří se zúčastnili alespoň jedné zahraniční vojenské mise. Pro sběr dat byly využity metody Experience in Close Relationship-Relationship Structures (ECR-RS), Post-Deployment Support a The Combat Experience Scale z Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory, zkrácená verze SCL-90 a metoda WHOTO. Výsledky ukazují, že vazbová úzkostnost a sociální opora po návratu jsou statisticky významnými prediktory somatizačních tendencí. Druhým zjištěním tohoto výzkumu je, že mezi vazbovými osobami kombatantů se dle předpokladu objevují kolegové z mise. Zjištění této studie mohou sloužit jako zdroj při tvorbě intervenčních programů pro tuto populaci.
